2 more I dug out.. Top is a 20 tac. Started life as a 222 mag. The rifle rode around in a boat in puget sound and was used for shooting seals. That was apparently try ok then. The stock was pretty nice but had som tiny rust pits throughout. Including inside the barrel. The action cleaned up fine but the bore was too far gone. So perfict candidate for a rebarrel. Second is my second sako ever. l61r. In the ultra rare 30/06. This rifle has put lots of meat on the table..matter of fact it is the only rifle I have that has never missed. Not counting the ones I don't hunt with.. Funny thing is it is not paticulary accurate. About 1 1/2 at 100 yds. Pretty beat up but is my favorite...

Hmm. So far just a bunch of plain ol' righthanded rifles. This thread is worthless without lefties! AV 6.5x55 up top AV Finnbear Deluxe 375 H&H on bottom

I need to dig out my L579 Deluxe Forester in 22-250. All metal is 100%, best blueing on any gun I own. It was unfired until I ran a few rounds through it a few years ago. Only problem with it is the stock clearcoat has some spider cracks and hazing which I have read is a problem with older Sakos. Any ideas on how and/or who can fix this?

There is no fix for that. The lacquer on those guns had a tendency to do that, just as the recoil pads would crush on the butt. Small price to pay for an otherwise perfect rifle...
